Music, what are you listening to right now?

Unknown Artist doing “Fed Up”.

It’s a song on my Essential Pebbles rock n’ roll collection, performers unknown.

Beastie Boys - Hot Sauce Committee Part Two

Irish Band And So I Watch You From Afar

Man Down by Rihanna. Wanted to see what all the hoo-hah was about. Meh.

Aw man, thanks for that! I love this song, but haven’t seen the video. Could she be any cuter?

Lose My Soul by tobyMac, with Kirk Franklin and Mandisa.

Thrice. I heard their cover of Helter Skelter on some video game commercial and was blown away.

Lhasa De Sela - The Living Road

Middle period Flatt and Scruggs. While my favorite period will always be 1945 - ~1959 (as I suspect it is for most fans), this collection has many gems that up until now I had never heard, with the exception of the “Foggy Mountain Banjo” and Carnegie Hall cuts. Not that this should be surprising in any way, what with the incredible musicianship of not only Lester and Earl, but the fine bands that they always had by their side.

Richard Thompson. I’ve been alternating between Mock Tudor and 1000 Years of Popular Music.

Either/Orchestra, Mood Music for Time Travelers, and Andrew Bird, Useless Creatures (the all-instrumental companion to Noble Beast).

Giants pre-game show.

Joe

“The Calamity Song” by The Decemberists.

The new single from “Welcome 2 My Nightmare”—“I’ll Bite Your Face Off” from Alice Cooper, along with a mix of tracks from “Along Came A Spider” and “Mascara and Monsters.”

The soundtrack of Theo Angelopoulos’ film, Ulysses’ Gaze. Music by Eleni Karaindrou & Kim Kashkashian. Right now it’s track 8, Ulysses’ Theme - Litany

Optimistic Voices from The Wizard of Oz. Next up is Men Without Hats’ Safety Dance.

Wagner - Gotterdammerung…that’s the kind of mood I’m in.

Passion Pit - Little Secrets.

David Allan Coe - “The Ghost of Hank Williams”, from Live - If This Ain’t Country.

Julio Bashmore - Battle For Middle You

Make sure you got the speakers for this one! Hearing it on a laptop is a pretty pale imitation.
